Awsome Video Card

[Snag219]

Yay my X700 thats like 2 years old broke. What video card is good, cheap and use PCI-E?

 

[Jimb0_d]

em a really good card is the nvidia gforce 7900 gs, cheap at arround £110 and very overclockable

another great card is the radeon X1900GT at a similar, if not cheaper price, and is possibly even a better card.

my 2 cents.....

how many dollars make a pound?

7900GS is decent im running a 7900GTX though

i have an nvidea geforce fx5200 i think... i dont think thats as good as the 7500 or w.e but it was only like 30 bucks i think on newegg.com and it works pretty good i get like 50 fps. im sure other people get way more though. In counter strike it gets up to 100

I have a 7800gt, no problems at all with it. Runs all games at max with no lag!

[Snag219]

thx guys, thinking about upgradin power and look at what yall referred me thx

I got an 8800gts the thing may be expensive but its awesome

 

[Jimb0_d]

well according to www.xe.com the exchange rate is 1 USD to 1.9 GBP so almost $1=£2

Yea as mentioned the GTX version of the 7900 etc are better but if ur goin on a budget i must say the GS is excelent value for money. I would also not reccoment spending a huge ammount on a gfx card at the minute because after all direct x 10 is here with the nvidia gforce 8XXX series so when they come down in price it would probably make sense to upgrade to one of them, again only my opinion though and i certainly dont know it all! lol

Great card with an avg fps of 70+ for DoD:S with max settings. Read the new egg reviews and specs.

[DyeMatrix]

[Infected Ice]

I just spoke with with newegg and they just sent me a RMA for my card. I told them I wanted a new unused one to sell so I could get the xtx and they said it was fine. Sorry snag, this card IS pretty sweet. AGP wise I have a XFX 6800 GT. That was the best AGP card I ever had and kept. Went to like the 7900 agp and the difference was not very substantial so I returned it and just invested in a whole new pc all together.

Here is some detail on the XFX 6800gt agp.
